Have you ever had the thought that you should be further along?
If so, this is just your brain trying to use it’s old mechanism (pressure) to motivate you. Because it’s worked before.
It’s worked…but it’s not fun. Far from it, since “I should be further along” tends to be a part of the bigger story that you’re doing something wrong or (worse) that there is something wrong with you. And that, my friends, is one of the most debilitating, shame-inducing thoughts you can have.
I know, because I’ve had it too. It’s paralyzed me and kept me spinning in place, making less money, not reaching my full potential — and then feeling frustrated with myself on top of it all because I see exactly what’s happening, but can’t seem to break the cycle.
If this is how you're feeling right now, first and foremost: I want you to know how COMMON this is. Every client I’ve worked with has relied on this form of motivation until we work together.
So, how do you break free?
The key is shifting your energy, and approaching your goals in an entirely new way.
When you build up your confidence, and you genuinely believe that your goals are within reach, you no longer need pressure to kick you into gear. You feel naturally excited and ready to dive in and get to work — which inevitably sets you up to create more success, faster.
Then, instead of pushing towards what you want with an undercurrent of fear and anxiety, you allow yourself to be PULLED towards it (and look forward to it) every step of the way.
It’s kinda like upgrading your mental and emotional diet from snack foods to whole foods. You run a lot more efficiently, and feel a heck of a lot better.
This is the work I do with my clients in my 1-on-1 program. We work together for 6 months, but you learn a whole new way of being that changes how you approach your work (and your life) forever.
If you’re curious to know more, I offer free calls where we paint a detailed picture of your most freedom-filled life, and then see if it makes sense to partner up to make it a reality.
